Bio: Ratchet was born in Ireland prior to the awaking and the war of the elves, this man was the go to man for many of his villages people do to his advanced knowledge of engines and mechanics. Ratchet is as well half Scottish and this heritage is the only thing that saved his life when the elves came through and began there slaughtering and enslavement of the humans and non elves. Ratchet was able to slip away under the cover of night with his family and board his smuggling boat and cross the English waters and land in the highlands and make his way to his uncles farm. This was all fine and dandy, but for Ratchet something didn’t sit right in his stomach. He could understand why the people he once helped and his neighbours who would gather to celebrate the holidays and assist with a barn raising suddenly turned violent. Those nights haunted Ratchets dreams for many years, and the more stories of the atrocities would filter over to Scotland he would grow more and more disturbed. This man was determined that something had to be done, why hadn’t the Irish military or the IRA step in where they part of this, where they defenceless at the hands of the elves.
         Ratchet himself was not a warrior, he was just a blue blooded Irishman who worked his life in the factories and had a love for machines of all types but a soldier he was not. Though this man would eventually tire of waiting to hear word of a resistance being formed and he would tire of reading about his county and home being savagely abused by the barbaric elves. Though in the bit of his stomach he feared taking a stand against the fairies but someone had to do something, and if it took this farmer and factory man to be the martyr then so be it.
         So Ratchet gathered up what funds he could, borrowed from family and neighbours and walked into a cyber clinic for the first time in his life, to officially enter the world of being a rigger. He used his credits to get needed cyber and some bioware and after a lengthy recovery and being fuelled by the rage of what he was seeing transpire on the television he walked out of the hospital a newly chromed rigger. He used the remaining credits to purchase a deck and a truck, he figured he could modify better on his own. He spent the next few weeks modifying the truck and outfitting it for war. This man then loaded the truck onto his Uncles fishing boat, kissed his wife and children good bye and said good bye to land of his birth as he set sail once again back to Ireland. His home, the land where his children where born, the land where he was met his beloved and was married. This Irish/Scotsman was more then ready to fight an army he knew noting about and more the ready to lay his life down for Ireland. Once he made sure, he said his fair wells to his Uncle and got into the truck. His Uncle stopped Ratchet and handed him a silver chain with a weird gold and silver inlaid cross, telling him that it was his fathers and it brought him luck and he would want you to have it. Ratchet took the chain and placed it around his neck and felt an odd sensation. He just shrugged it off and thanked his Uncle and closed the door and drove off the boat and from that day Ratchets life would forever change.
          This new rigger received a crash course in vehicle combat and the horrors of war, where ever he drove he encountered check points, enemy soldiers and burnt out villages. Farms laid to waste, villagers laying dead in the street both human and elven and just all around bedlam. Ratchet knew that he was going to die out here, but he could no longer sit by and watch as no one did anything to prevent the atrocities. He was hearing over the radio about the Irish surrender and how all humans needed to report to Dublin to be branded, numbered and sent to there proper re-education camps. this didn’t sit well with him, Ratchets grandfather had fought the Nazis in the second World War and here were the elves doing the exact same thing again, this gave him even more dedication and drive to fight till his last dying breath.
           Ratchet proved himself to be a real thorn in the side of the elven forces since they weren’t ready to deal with a real rigger, though he was a rookie a cybered rigger is far more deadly then just a driver and gunner. This gave him an edge on the battlefield and he would turn the tide for many of his fellow Irishman who had taken up arms against the elven threat. Though Ratchet would eventually meet an opponent that he was not ready to fight and only the luck of the Irish would keep him from being slaughtered on that day. As Ratchet laid broken and bloody in the wreckage of his rig he was approached by a older German man who spoke softly but with a thick accent, he thanked ratchet for all his help and his dedication to the cause. He also told him that the war wasn’t through with him yet, and he waived his hand and the magical energies flowed across Ratchet and his rig and in a blink he was fully healed and his truck was fully repaired. The man then just turned away only saying we will meet again sometime, somewhere else and somewhere in time. as he walked away Ratchet leaned out of the vehicles open window to thank the stranger and he noticed emblazoned on the back of his dress cape the same cross he was given by his uncle and he now wears under his collar.
           Ratchet never learned the identity if that man, but he owes him his life and has been fighting the elven oppression ever since that day to the fullest of his abilities. He also learned that when his rig was rebuilt by the magic of that wanderer it empowered his vehicle with more than even Ratchet can explain and his rotatory cannon in now more like a rail cannon with a vastly increased range and damage. Ratchet still can’t explain it and he has just come to accept that his truck is near bullet prof, his energy cells never run low and his guns are devastating. Eventually the war with the elves came to a close as the human forces where forced to retreat as other nations where coming to the aid of the elven tyrants. Only bands of resistance fighters remained and Ratchet knew it was time to leave or be captured and executed. He went to seek aid from the Scottish, though lucky for him he opted for magnification vision as he noticed that even his own county was looking for him and not as a hero, but as a murderer and terrorist. So thats when Ratchet took to the next stage of his life, knowing he would never see the highlands nor his family again he made his way to the ports and using his remote deck and an odd looking riffle he picked up months ago off a dead elven soldier he hijacked the ship and hence Ratchet was on his way to a life of piracy.
          The Crew of the fishing vessel were of human and dwarf stock with a few Orcs but they were non combatants and fearful of this master rigger from the battlefields. Though the captain was less inclined to surrender and he reached for his riffle and took aim on Ratchet, this rigger out of sheer instinct quickly readied his weapon and “CRACK” the captains body went limp and fell to the deck below. Ratchet now had committed murder along with piracy and couldn’t turn back know. The crew just fell in line at first out of fear and eventually they began to respect Ratchet as there captain. He ordered the ship to break from port and go out to sea, Ratchet spoke with the crew and asked if they were okay with continuing to fight for the Emerald Isles, and assist the resistance fighters on land by hijacking the relief ships coming in from other nations. Maybe it was there Irish Pride, or maybe Ratchets natural Charisma the sailors and fisherman all cheered and swore to fight for Ireland regardless of the consequences. He then told the men to gather the weapons he collected that where in the back of his truck and so Ratchet would become a Pirate Captain and he would spend the next few months out at see training his crew in battle tactics and how to use the weapons.
         This began the age of the cyber pirate and national and freelance Navies were not ready for a skilled militant crew of men, that was willing to die for the cause and willing to kill for there captain and for there home. This crew was a force to be reckoned with, they would sack any vessel that came to assist the elves of Ireland now calling it the Tir Na Nog. Ratchet was once a simple factory worker and farmer who never killed anything, minus fish and cattle now after years of war, and the adding of cyberware his soul had become cold and callous. He hoped to return to Scotland and be with his wife once more, but his own country turned on him not once but twice. The good man that Ratchet was once before was long gone, and he was fighting a war and he cared little for the lives of his enemy, he would order entire ships cleared of there crew and the bridge slave rigged to his remote deck.
      This Pirate crew would use his truck as there ships guns, till the made the biggest score of there career, though it also became the final nail in there coffin and dumbed them to be true pirates and they would forever be forced to fight like every day would be there last, spend time hiding in the Caribbean League and as well be hunted in many sovereign nations. They struck a naval destroyer, this attack was blasent and very dangerous prior to this strike they only hit supply ships and non military that had simple security and untrained crew. This time Ratchet felt that in order to strike a deadly blow for the cause they would half to up the odds and go after a military vessel. Not only would it demoralize the enemy, it would also provide needed supplies, weapons, armour and ammunition not to mention bigger guns. Ratchet and his crew struck the vessel by surprise from the thick fog and like a scene out of an old pirate movie they where on the vessel in no time and boarding. The fight was brutal and the enemy fought hard, the pirates fought with everything they had and when the smoke cleared Ratchet was left with the choice to let the ships captain a middle aged British man so he can return home to his family and countryman or execute him where he stood. Ratchets men stood waiting for there leaders decision. Ratchet ordered the man out of his uniform and to remove his cover and get on his knees, the officer begging for his life did as he was ordered and once on his knees Ratchet lifted his side arm up the man’s forehead and said simply “For Ireland” and he pulled the trigger.
        He ordered the body of the captain to hung from off the bridge so all could see from the deck and that the ship had officially been taken, and any sailors that wished to stay aboard and join them, they could and anyone who wished to not be a pirate would be thrown in a life boat and released. Yes Ratchet increased his crew and increased his fleet that day. He also became an enemy of the British, though he didn’t know that a plan had been set into motion many years earlier that would shield Ratchet and his people. Ratchet put the uniform on took down the Union Jack and hoisted his colours and from that day forward the Sea Wolves would become a feared pirate clan and scourge of the seven seas.
        The Sea Wolves used to war with the Crimson Bloods over territory, but in the past few months they have formed an unholy alliance and the Wolves have been lending there guns, ships and crew to the war in England. They also have assisted the HRM and there naval needs against the Tir Na Nog, Ratchet has gotten colder and more callous over the years, he now flies the Red backed Jolly Rodger and has zero concern or need for survivors. His heart of stone turned black as coal once he learned that his wife and children where beheaded publicly for there association to him and his other family members where either jailed or hung as a warning to all other would be cyber pirates. All this did was ignite a fire under Ratchet and he has once again entered another chapter of his life, and this time he is out for blood, though he might be old now this pirate still has fight in him and he is still wondering who that mysterious gentlemen was he meet so long ago is.
